Utah Board of Cosmetology License Information

Last Updated: October 28, 2015

The requirements for getting your cosmetology license are listed
below, taken from the Utah Division of Professional Licensing guidelines. The first step is to get your education
from an accredited beauty school. You can find Utah cosmetology schools listed
on our site.

After finishing your schooling, you must take and pass the
licensing exam issued by the Utah Division of Professional Licensing. Once you
pass, you can get your Utah cosmetology license shortly thereafter.

The state of UT does allow apprenticeship to get your training
hours for some licenses, as outlined below. UT uses PSI to administer the exam
and allows you to take the boards in the English language only.

For specific questions, please contact the Utah board directly
for more information.

Utah License Renewal

Utah cosmetology license renewal is required every two years on
September 30. The renewal fee for beauty practitioner licenses is $52. Utah does not currently require
cosmetology continuing education hours to renew licenses, but CEUs are always
recommended to stay current in the industry.

Cosmetology License Reciprocity (Transfer) in Utah

Utah does not allow beauty license reciprocity, but they do offer
licensure by endorsement if you meet their qualifications. To apply for
endorsement, you must have your original licensing agency submit proof of your cosmetology
licensure and education hours to the Utah Division of Occupational and Professional
Licensing. If you completed your training hours in another country, you must
have an approved credentialing company verify your training.
